Hey there guys! I know what you are thinking. "Wtf man? Another fanfiction? Finish the other ones!" I know dammit! I am working on the next chapters of my big three fanfictions and they will come out in the next two weeks! Now, this is something that I had started work on two bloody years ago but abandoned it. As I was sorting though my fanfictions and their chapters, I ran into this. So, I thought "Eh? Why not? Let me polish it up and publish it!" So here we are. This will be a low priority fanfiction, unless it blows up in popularity. Don't know how it will. So, with that said, have fun!

Naruto Uzumaki, an orphaned boy who was also quite shy around people as he had never really had a lot of friends, leading to not enough contact with other people as he grew up in the orphanage. At a first glance, there was nothing strange about him. He was an average boy Japanese-German boy with blond hair, blue eyes and tanned skin, though the last one was odd. Now all of that was at a first glance. There was one thing that no one really knew about him. That one thing was that he was a tank freak. He loved tanks and when he had gotten his own place, he had filled his room with tank models, posters of legendary tank commanders and other tank related stuff. However, if one was to ask him about tanks, he would shy away. His shyness led to many people just avoiding him. His shyness only got worse due to that.

"Did you hear? Our school won another match!" A random girl said as her friends nodded. Naruto timidly glanced to hear what they were talking about. The girls were from a famous girl's high school known as Kuromorimine. It was one of the best school and their tank teams had won many contests. They mainly operated German tanks of the Second World War. Naruto sighed. He wanted to drive a tank too! But it was unfair as only girls were allowed to take part in those tank tournaments and he could forget about join the army to become a tank crew member. The military these days only accepted females in armored divisions as a vast majority of them had experience with operating with tanks, thus decreasing the amount of time and resources needed to train a tank crew.

"I should start a team...but I don't have any friends." He sighed. If he was going to start a team, he needed people, recruits. Many of the tank teams were made up of classmates and friends, leading to excellent teamwork. He reached his small apartment and made his way to his room. Upon entering it, he quickly made his way to his desk, on which he was working on a tank model. The model he was working Tiger tank model. This model was special as it was the model that the infamous German tank ace Michael Wittmann had fought and died in.

After working on the model half way though he yawned and looked at the time. Guess it was time to do his homework. The day ended just like any other day for him.

The next day:

Naruto yawned as he made his way to school. School life was also the same for him every other day. Go to school, attend class, do work and such. However, this time he noticed that there was a large crowd of boys gathered around a board at the entrance of the school. Too shy to go up to the large crowd, he waited until they all left. Once they all left, he approached the board and read the poster that was pinned to it and his eyes widened slowly. It seems like the international community had allowed boys to take part in tank tournaments. This was a dream come true! Now he could be a tank commander! It also seemed like that Kuromorimine team was looking for some hopefuls that would be eager to join the team.

"I-I going to sign up!" He though as he wrote his name on a slip and dropped it in the box that was stationed next to the board. Once he was done, he headed off to his class. On the outside he was shy and nervous, but on the inside, he was excited. The thought of being inside a tank excited him.

"I can't wait!" He said, exited to finally be able to close to tanks.

The Next Day:

"What have I gotten myself into...?" Naruto thought as he shrunk into his jacket. Currently he was being sized up by the Kuromorimine team leader, Maho Nishizumi. Now, it would have been fine that she was trying to figure him out if he wasn't the only male present there. It seems like that he was the only one that signed up. Now, Naruto wasn't very confident around the opposite sex. He would get nervous, start sweating and started to shutter.

"Your name is Naruto Uzumaki, correct?" She questioned with a monotone voice, her face showing no emotion. If possible, he even shrunk even more and started to fiddle with his index fingers.

"Y-Y-Y-Yes..." He answered, well, more like whispered. She could see that he was nervous, but she didn't care or didn't show that she cared. Going over his file that gave her his physical physique, intelligence, and stuff like that. His physique was average, and he wasn't stupid nor was he overly intelligent. Overall, he was fit for tank operations. Sighing, she closed his file before she gave him a sharp look.

"Although I am not too happy with the decision of the international community, I am obligated to give you a chance. Be here tomorrow morning for training." She said as she walked off, not noticing the downed look on his face. It seems like the teams themselves weren't very open with the idea, but they had to obey the will of the community, their word was law.

"I-I'll prove her that I can be of use to the team!" He thought with confidence. He wanted to - no -he needed to prove her wrong!

"I-I-I'll be the best tank commander!" He shouted to himself, his goal set. He wanted to be a tank commander, like those of the past. He'll prove them all that even males can be experts when it came to tanker! With his new-found confidence in mind, he started to head back home. His will would not be crushed by the comment of one and he would not give in to the pressure of others. He would rise above and show them that his name is Naruto Uzumaki! The greatest tank commander to have ever lived!

The next day:

This was not what he had in his mind when he was told that today was training day. Here he was, sitting on the bench as he waited for the tanks to return from their training mission. So, what was his part in this training mission you ask?

"Hey! The engine needs maintenance!" Ah yes, he was assigned to the repair team. He wasn't mad, no; he was too shy to be mad.

"R-Right." He responded as he climbed up the tiger and went to its rear where the engine was located. Opening the hatch at the rear of the tank, he started to get to work. He knew how tanks worked and operated due to him spending way too much time reading about them. It took him little time as he checked the engine and made sure everything was fine as he made some adjustments and quickly changing the oil.

"I-It's good to go." He reported as he jumped down the massive war machine. Said war machine rolled away as he sighed and took his seat back on the bench. He was the only member of the repair team since Kuromorimine tank crews took care of their own tanks. It felt like they were deliberately trying to single him out. If they were thinking that he would leave because this, then they were dead wrong!

"What are you doing there just sitting around?" He turned around to find a girl with long light blond hair and light blue eyes. She stood at a height of 159 cm and had an air of arrogance around her.

"She's pretty..." He thought before he shook his head. Where did that come from?

"U-Uh I am part of the repair team..." He said as his eyes tried to avoid her.

"Repair team? Since when did we have a repair team?" She questioned as she looked over him. His attire was covered oil and black smoke, his sun-kissed blond hair was blackened by the oil and fumes of the engines.

"You must be the male that joined the team, why aren't you out there, on the field training with your crew?" She questioned him as he shrunk into his jacket.

"I-I w-wasn't a-a-a-assigned a crew..." He responded meekly. She frowned at his response.

"That won't do, as a member of this team, you must have a crew and you must contribute to the team." She stated as she frowned. Why wasn't he assigned a crew?

"Well, no matter, my gunner transferred to another school and I need someone to fill in the spot. How are your shooting skills?" She questioned him as he blinked.

"Ah...I-I d-don't know..." He said. He truly didn't know how well he was. Sure, he read about tanks, how they worked, the basics and all that, but he's never been inside a tank before.

"That won't do, come." She said as she grabbed his hand and started to drag him away. Naruto however blushed by the contact. Before he knew it, they were standing before the infamous Tiger 2 (H).

"Let's see how well you shoot." She stated a she shoves him inside the tank where the gunners seat was located.

"Commander, is that the male that joined our team?" One of the crew members questioned. She had blond hair and deep blue eyes and was about his height. The other crew members perked up as they all looked at him, making his feel quite nervous.

"This is Akari, the loader and yes, he is our newest teammate and our new gunner." She responded. She began to introduce him to the rest. The radio operator was a black-haired girl with brown eyes and pale skin, her name was Maaya. The driver also had blond hair, though her's were faded and had grayish colored eyes, her name was Chiho.

"And I am the commander of this tank, Erika Itsumi, the former team leader." She finally introduced herself,

"M-My n-n-name is N-Naruto U-Uzumaki." He introduced himself as he bowed slightly.

"He shutters, how cute!" Chiho, the driver commented as she rubbed her check with his. Naruto blushed so hard that steam started to appear from his ears.

"Ok, that's enough; we need to see how good Naruto here can shoot. Get to your stations." Erika ordered as everyone nodded and started to staff their positions. Naruto looked around the tank as he took note of the optics for the gunner.

"I'm...inside a tank!" He thought as he marveled at beauty of the tank. It all felt so right, the armor, the gears, the hatches, everything! He felt happy as he touched the firing mechanism. The tank came to life as it rumbled and began to move forward. He felt a tap on his right shoulder. He looked back to find Erika sitting in the commander's seat.

"There is a practice round loaded in already, once we arrive at the range; you are to fire at a target that is 800 meters out." She ordered as he slowly nodded. The tank soon came to a halt as he looked through the gunner's sight. Spotting a target, he took aim. Narrowing his eyes, he made sure that the marker was in the right position. Once he was sure that it was spot on, he started to apply pressure on the trigger. Confident that the first shell would hit, he applied more pressure on the trigger until the gun fired. The gun roared as the shell sailed through the air and ripped through the dummy target.

"I hit it..." He muttered. His first time shooting a tank cannon and he hit the target! He looked back to get his next order, only to find a surprised Erika.

"Y-You sure you never fired a tank gun ever before?" She questioned him.

"N-No...d-did I hit the w-wrong target?" He asked meekly. She only shook her head.

"No...You did hit the wrong target...the one you hit was 1200 meters out, you're a natural." She said, slightly shocked. Did he really have no experience?

"Well, if your second shot is as good as first, then I think we've got ourselves a fine gunner, shell up!" She stated as the shell was loaded in. This time, Naruto had to take out a moving target. Looking through the gunner's view, he spotted the target; a light tank. He quickly asserted its speed, direction, and range. Once he was sure that the shell would hit, he fired. The shell sailed through the air and slammed right into the mock light tank. The light tank blew up in flames, as the turret was thrown into the air.

"Dame, he is good..." Akari commented, the last gunner wasn't nearly as this good. The rest of the crew nodded at that.

"I-It w-w-wasn't that h-hard, j-just simple m-math..." Naruto stated as they all looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Simple math he says..." Maaya stated with sarcasm with an eye roll. Naruto nervously chuckled. The rest of the day was spent training, rotating crew members to ensure that all of them knew how to drive, shoot, use the radio and so on. At the end of the day, Naruto was pretty tried, but after the training it was found that Naruto was a natural when it came to tanks. It was good because Naruto was an excellent gunner, and a good driver. His ability to command the crew was good, but his shuttering didn't help a whole lot. Sighing, he set his bag down on the floor as he slumped into his chair.

"We have a match coming soon…the 63rd National High School Tournament." He muttered out as he did his homework. Erika had informed him that their first match would be with Chi-Ha-Tan Academy. From what he could gather about Chi-Ha-Tan Academy they fielded World War 2 Japanese tanks, mostly mediums such as the Type 95 Ha-Go or variants of the Type 97 Chi-Ha. They had improved their equipment's and upgraded tanks over the year, however, their traditionalist mindset which produced headstrong tankers led to their primary tactic being a frontal suicidal-charge against the enemy. This tactic was starting to become the downfall of the once capable academy as they even threw away their favorable odds and charged on ahead.

"They should be easy, but we cannot let our guard down." Naruto said to himself as he studied the enemy as much as possible. Tomorrow there would be a training match, a mock up battle to see who would be sent to the first match of the tournament. He could only hope that he would be able to take part in it. He yawned and called it day as he headed off to bed, eager to prove himself.

The next day:

"Uh…i-is this n-necessary?" Naruto questioned shyly as he looked at himself in the mirror. He now wore German Black Panzer Wrap along with Black Panzer Trousers along with a Black Panzer Overseas Side Cap. This was the first male uniform that the school and produced for the tournament.

"Of course, you do! You are a member of the Kuromorimine team! Besides, you don't look too bad in that uniform." Erika stated with a light blush as the rest of the crew nodded. A uniform was necessary, and he did look good in it.

"R-Right…" Naruto muttered out as the crew of 5 exited the team building and headed to the large warehouse where their tank was parked at. Entering the warehouse, they found it buzzing with activity. The Crews of various tanks were working on strategy, tactics, working on their tanks and so on. Today was a free-for-all where the best of the best would be chosen to go the tournament.

"This will be fun, don't you think?" Akari questioned as the other's nodded, with Naruto keeping to himself. Approaching their tank, they found it sticking out the rest as it was a King Tiger.

"So, what do you think of the other teams?" Erika questioned as her crew thought over the questioned.

"I think their pretty good." Maaya answered as Chiho nodded with the radio operator. Chiho's opinion were similar to Maaya since they both sat across from one another inside the tank since she was the driver.

"Yh, but we can take them on!" Akari proclaimed as she picked up a shell, showing her strength causing the others to sigh.

"What about you, Naruto?" Erika questioned, wondering what his opinion was. The said boy jumped slightly as the attention was turned to him.

"W-Well, uhm, I-I think e-each team has i-its own s-strength and weakness. F-For example teams with the Elephant h-have a p-powerful g-gun, but the t-tank isn't a good c-climber and has engine f-failures often." Naruto responded as the other's looked at him as if he had grown another head. The blond gave a nervous chuckle as Erika sighed.

"Ok…Well, let's just get out of her first." She ordered as she climbed onto the tank and assumed her position with the rest following her. She ordered Chiho to take them out of the warehouse and the open field before they came to a halt.

"So, what's our plan?" Akari questioned as she looked at the map with the rest of the team.

"We should take the path through the forest, knocking out any tanks in the way. Once we reached the base of that hill, we'll take a right had head to the ravine. Since the gun depression on most German tank isn't great, it can will provide us with some sort of cover." Erika reasoned as Naruto raised his hand.

"Ah, w-what if we a-assume p-position on this h-hill? It h-has plenty of cover with the t-trees and a good view of the battlefield below." Naruto proposed as he pointed to the hill. While it would take some time for them to climb it, it was doable. To the east and south of the hill was flat open fields, to the north, where they were located, was a large forest and the western approach had light vegetation.

"Hmm, so we are going to assume a sniper role?" Erika questioned Naruto, who nodded.

"T-The King T-Tiger was most e-effective at r-range." Naruto answered as Erika nodded in understanding. Since the King Tiger lacked the stabilizers needed to be able to fire whole on the move effectively, it had to move and stop and fire and repeat to ensure the target was hit.

"You heard him Chiho, head to that hill." Erika ordered as Chiho nodded and started to drive the tank towards the hill. To ensure that they survived the journey to the hill, she moved through the forest to provide cover for the tank. While Chiho drove the tank, the rest of the crew was on the lookout for their opponents, which was everyone else. Naruto squinted his eyes as he looked through the optics of his gun, trying to stop a tank. His eyes widened slightly as he saw a tank.

"I spot a Panzerjager Tiger Ausf. B." Naruto called out as Erika opened the hatch to get a better look.

"Were at?" She questioned Naruto the direction.

"South-East of us, around 900 meters." Naruto called out, losing his shutter as he was completely focused on the target, making the world around him almost disappear. It was just him and the target in his sights.

"Think you can hit it?" Erika questioned as she too spotted the Jagdtiger, though it seems like it hadn't spotted them yet.

"Yes, but its armor is too thick on the front and even the sides." Naruto responded. While the King Tiger's gun was potent, it was no match for the armor of the Jagdtiger.

"Halt!" Erika ordered as the tank came to a halt while Naruto kept following the target.

"Fire when their back is exposed." She ordered Naruto, who nodded as he kept his eye on the massive tank hunter.

"Steady…" Erika said as she observed the Jagdtiger as it moved ahead, it's back starting to become exposed. Then it made a left turn into the forest, exposing it's back.

"Fire!" She shouted as Naruto fired a single round, making a direct hit as the tank's engine burst into flames, with the white flag popping out the top. It was out of the game.

"Good shot." Erika complemented as Naruto kept his focus. Then the tank rocked a bit as a shell bounced off the side of their turret, followed by the sound of machine gun fire peppering their tank.

"Where's that tank?" Erika questioned as the turret moved to the right, scanning the battlefield.

"Panzerkampfwagen V Ausf. G, towards our rear, 1000 meters." Naruto replied as he fired the gun, just glancing the panther, which began to reverse and retreat into the forest. Naruto gritted his teeth's as Akari loaded in another shell Chiho was ordered to keep the tank moving.

"Let them be for now. Their camouflage will make it hard for us to detect." Erika ordered as Naruto nodded and sighed as they resumed their journey to the hill. The first tank was knocked out of the match as the King Tiger made its way towards the hill. As they started to climb the hill, the engine began to give them trouble as the tank climbed the hill.

"Maaya, see to the engine." Erika ordered as Maaya nodded and climbed out of the hatch and around the tank to it's back and started to work on the engine as the tank moved on. It wasn't long before the engine was properly working again as Maaya retreated into the tank.

"We are about to reach the top." Chiho stated as the tank finally reached the top of the hill as it moved into the patch of trees to hide itself. Once hidden, Erika opened the hatch and started to survey the area. The other's followed her example sane Chiho and Naruto who were needed in case they have to move or shoot.

"Anything?" Erika questioned as Maaya shook her head.

"No, what about you, Akari?" Maaya questioned the loader of the crew who squinted her eyes towards the south as she spotted some movement.

"Two Jagdpanzers, about 1200 meters down south." She answered as Erika nodded and pressed the button on her throat mike to talk to the crew inside the tank.

"Naruto, we have a two Jagdpanzers towards the south. Estimated range is 1200 meters." Erika stated as Naruto nodded to himself. Akari quickly retreated back into the tank to take her position as a loader.

"Ready?" She questioned, picking up a shell as Naruto brought the turret towards its first target, calculating its range, it was about 1,245 meters.

"Ready." Naruto responded as he fired the cannon. The gun recollide back as the breech pulled back as the shell accurately hit the lower glacis of the Jagdpanzer. Akari quickly loaded in the second round as Naruto turned his attention to the second one, which was now on the move.

"It's running." Erika said as Naruto squinted his eye at the retreating tank before he fired once more, hit the rear and turning the tank over. Both tanks were knocked out as Akari loaded in another shell.

"Good, three kills in just the opening stages." Akari commented, they were off to a great start. In the distant they could hear tanks engaging each other as they waited for more the fall into their trap.

"That Panther's back." Erika said as a few trees were knocked down as the Panther quickly used the forest to begin climbing the hill. She frowned as she knew that there was no way to attack the Panther for now. If they attempted to get a shot at it, they would be shot at as well.

"W-We should let it come up." Naruto reasoned as Erika nodded. They would have the advantage if they allowed the tank to get on top.

"We got a Tiger behind us!" Maaya shouted out as a shell landed near their tank. Chiho quickly started to maneuver the tank back as the Tiger kept on firing. Naruto returned fire but do to the tank moving the shells were accurate, causing many of them to miss.

"We need to stop." Naruto said as Erika shook her head.

"Take care of the Panther first, we will deal with the Tiger later." She ordered as Naruto nodded and began to rotate the turret as a shell explode as it hit the turret. It rocked the tank, but the shell was shattered. Just as Naruto brought the turret all the way around, the Panther had reached the top and fired. To shell glanced off the frontal armor of the King Tiger as Naruto returned fire. The shell hit some parts on the side of the Panther, causing the shell to bounce. The Panther quickly started to go around the King Tiger as Naruto tried to follow, but the panther was faster then the turret rotation speed.

"Chiho, move the tank towards the right!" Naruto shouted out as Chiho nodded and quickly started to turn to the right, allowing the turret to be ahead of the Panther.

"Got yh." Naruto said as he fired, finally knocking out the Panther.

"Good, but now there's a Tiger we have to deal with." Akari stated while reloading the gun. Naruto nodded and started to bring the gun to its new target.

"Chiho, I want you to ram the Tiger!" Erika ordered as Chiho nodded and switched gears and slammed into the Tiger as fast as possible. The heavier of the two started to push the Tiger downhill, with it being unable to point its gun at them due to Naruto holding it in place by using the King Tiger's gun. Realizing the situation, the Tiger crew quickly changed gears and went in reverse, allowing them to gain a gap large enough for their gun to aim at them. The Tiger fired as the shell bounced off the thick frontal armor of the King Tiger.

"Fire!" Erika shouted as Naruto fired the cannon. The shell slammed into the Tiger, causing it to go down the hill at great speeds before finally coming to a stop and a white flag popped out of the top. The crew cheered as they had knocked out 5 tanks!

A few hours later:

The mock-up battle had ended, and Erika's crew had racked up a total of 10 knockouts and survived till the end. It was safe to say that they would be included in the team being sent off to the finales.

"Erika, what is the meaning of this?" Erika turned around to find their commander, Maho Nishizumi and she looked less than pleased. Erika simply raised an eyebrow at her.

"What do you mean?" She questioned Maho, who narrowed her eyes and looked at Naruto, who shrunk into his jacket

"Why is he part of your crew? He is part of the repairs team." Maho stated as Erika narrowed her eyes in-turn.

"There has never been a repairs team. Besides, Naruto is a natural gunner and an all around capable crew member. Why should his talents be squandered, I needed a gunner anyways?" Erika stated as she stared down at her commander. Maho simply glared at her.

"Find another replacement for a gunner. He is not to be part of the team." Maho declared as Erika's eyes twitched at that. Naruto glanced between the two and gulped. He was getting in the way of two friends.

"I-It's o-ok Erika-san, I-I'll h-head back to the r-repair team." Naruto shuttered out. It was odd. Inside a tank he felt fine, as if the world around him didn't matter, only the thing in his sights. However, outside the tank he was back to his old self. Maho smirked in triumph as Erika frowned and laid her hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"No, stay Naruto. You are the gunner and part of this crew. If Erika doesn't want you in the team, then I won't take part in the tournament." Erika stated as the other's nodded. Naruto was an excellent gunner and a fine eye for range finding. No way were they going to lose him! Maho's smirk turned into a frown as she turned her glare towards Naruto, who jumped slightly, Maho was scary.

"How about this, he can be in the tournament, but in a different tank." Maho offered as Erika thought over the offer. Naruto's talents were quite handy in the field and they could use it in the tournament. This was possible the best deal they could reach with Maho.

"We accept, but if Naruto survives, I want him back as my gunner. Got it?" Erika stated as Maho nodded with a grin.

"If he survives." Maho stated as she turned to Naruto, who gulped. He got the feeling that he wasn't going to like what she had to say.

"He will be crewing the Panzer 1, alone." She stated as Erika and her crew's eyes widened.

"That's not fair! The panzer 1 is lightly armored and has only two machine guns as its offensive weapons! Not only that, but you're telling him to operate a tank which requires a crew of two!" Akari protested as Maho didn't even bat an eye.

"You made a deal with me. I get to choose the tank. If he survives, then you can have him." Maho stated as she turned and left leaving behind a disheartened Naruto and an enraged crew of a King Tiger.

"She's setting him up for failure!" Chiho said as she balled her hands into fists.

"Don't worry. We will help him through this. Naruto, stay close to my vehicle during the match. Your odds of survival are much better if you do." Erika said as Naruto nodded, a bit happy that at least some were trying to help him.

"I'll prove her wrong…" Naruto thought as he was taken to where the Panzer 1 was located. Even if he had fight alone it this vehicle, he would do it. He will show Maho that he is just as capable as the rest of the team!

So? How was it? Good? Bad? Leave a bloody review! I know there isn't much in this crossover, but what the hell, here's hoping someone else makes a fanfiction in this section. See yh all next time! Oh, I almost forget! What do you guys think of pairings? With that out of the way, bye!
